"I knew there was something wrong, it just took a while to dawn on me, or maybe I was just afraid to think it, but you survived the destruction because you caused it. Raina wasn't the only one changed in there, and I'm pretty sure the DNA results that I'm running right now will confirm that there's nothing wrong with the data in my head Skye, there's something wrong with you."

Yeah, but why?
I like masks in the comic books, but the MCU has made it abundantly clear that no one (so far) is operating under a secret identity. Cap did in WWII, but his identity is known after the Avengers.

Unless you're using an alias and superheroing (or supervillaining) on the down-low, then masks are just a pointless obstacle.

Whatever it is, I do think his face/eyes need to be covered in some way so that Cap (as well as the audience members who are unfamiliar with the story) won't know right away that it's Bucky. It's the horrific realization of what happened to Bucky that is really dramatic.
